Many decades ago, immigrants Rose and Bill Waldman opened a millinery store on Main Street in Nyack, NY. Among the gloves, hats and handbags, Rose and Bill sold gorgeous costume jewelry, some of which Bill designed.
Years later, their granddaughter, Alison, discovered boxes and boxes of vintage Swarovski crystals that her mother had collected after her parents had died. One holiday season, Alison created necklaces for all her female family members, using some of these beautiful beads. She discovered a hidden talent and enjoys creating affordable jewelry reminiscent of high end designs.
All of her creations are handcrafted using 14/20 Gold Filled or 925 Sterling Silver chain and Argentium non-tarnish wire.
Alison has lived in South Orange, NJ since 2001 with her husband, Michael and sons Daniel and Nathan.
